Gardonè-Vardabe Walk

An easy walk to discover old alpine huts nestled on lush green meadows.

Vardabe is a magical place, a small oasis of peace—somewhere you wouldn’t expect to find at the foot of the Latemar. Its meadows dotted with old alpine huts create the classic postcard landscape of a mountain holiday.

How to get there

Take the gondola lift up to Gardonè. Follow the “Dragon Forest” trail and then the signs for “Le Prese.” Once you reach the forest road, turn right and walk downhill until you reach the wide meadow scattered with huts. Continue to the right along the path across the meadows to the edge of the larch forest, where you’ll join another forest road with a gentle climb leading back to Gardonè and the gondola.

Equipment

Sneakers or hiking shoes, waterproof jacket, water, sunscreen.

A little tip

Bring a blanket and a packed lunch—the spot is perfect for a relaxing picnic (just be careful of hay-cutting periods).

Mountain safety

When you’re out in the mountains, just remember: be smart and stay mindful and vigilant.
Study the map and pay attention to trail markers along the way and stay on the demarcated path.
Check the weather forecast, preferably from a local weather service with th most relevant information.
If fatigue sets in, or if you’re uncertain about the trail or encounter unfavourable weather, feel free to backtrack along the same path.
Suitable gear: hiking boots, rain jacket, hat or cap, water, sunscreen, snacks and a first aid kit. Hiking poles for more demanding routes.
In case of emergency, call 112.
